Hi, I'm using backuppc to backup a number of different machines, but am having some memory consumption issues with the backuppc daemon when backing up one particular host we just started backing up using BackupPC 3.0.0.
When backing up this client, the daemon uses over 4GB of RAM causing the machine to swap significantly. The client is a CentOS 4 box and is being backed up using rsync over ssh. Interestingly, the full backup seemed to use a lot less memory than the incrementals as the machine didn't go into swap when doing the full backup. I am pretty sure that the main issue causing the memory utilization is that the client has over 1.8 million files to be backed up with another 20k files to back up each day. Perhaps the File::RsyncP module is causing this memory utilization? I think that possible workarounds would be to switch to a different backup transport other than rsync. Can anyone think of any other solutions? Has any work been put into the RsyncP module to reduce memoty utilization? -Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
